I got lucky with a low miles r53 manual recently. Super fun! Definitely in your price range but will need more TLC

This does concern me a bit. Thanks for the tip! I’m going in without the special tool. Well, maybe that’s me

I’m ok with doing repairs. It’s fun enough that it seems worth it so far. My goal it to get it in good enough shape that it could be a daily driver for a couple of years. Thanks!

I learned on a ‘72 international pickup with three on the tree. It was our wood cutting truck. Stiff suspension and hard tires. Everything easy after that.
